DanMingo - live debut at The Cafe De Paris. Sept 7th 2007.
Hello my favourite mysterious MySpace in the whole world! - it's JJ, Steve Swindells' faithful, enormous ginger pussy here. Just letting everyone know that JJ's Miaow Space is now up and running with a new song by SS, my very own human (the one he wrote and recorded in Cornwall) , featured on there... along with my very own cartoon! Now what new track shall I put up next? Maybe something unheard by DanMingo eh? Love JJ. Purrrr. PS Say Miaow Ciaow to Wicked Uncle Woo!
Torchy, Torchy, the (no) battery boy! SS, you eco freak! I want one! Well, I'm glad you like my genuine vocal samples on YSOMS, at least. Now the race is on to see who's gonna sing the lead vocal first! I checked www.danmingo.com and it looks great but *ahem* there's NOT a link to my myspace! How could you? WUW goes and sulks %$)($%)(_G$(FKFK)$$$)$_@!!!!!
It's YOUR space, and mine of course. Lyrics VERY nearly finito.
Meanwhile, in a far-off land called DanMingo, a light was seen in the western twylight. 'Surely, it must be a star,' said a booking agent who happened to be passing. 'Well, er... yeah, it could,or it could be my seriously green wind-up torch.' I responded, whilst drawing www.danmingo.com in the sand with my big toe, lit by its eco-beam. 'Only eight quid at Maplins,'I said to the booking agent,whilst winding it vigorously, 'and it's got a radio too!'
Hey Wicked Uncle Woo - niiiice sample mix on track 2 of The Story Of The Song! Still no lead vocal eh? Hurry up, or Steve Swindells will get in there first!
Yeah guys - I'm on the case! I'm gonna write the lyrics and sing it with DanMingo. So na na na. You can piss off Wicked Unkle Woo, you funky old fucker!
Yeah man, sounding really good. The guitarist does sound vaguely familiar, as does one of the backing vocalists! Can't wait to hear the next installment. By us, of course. C'mon Steve, get writing those lyrics!
Hey - the first installment of the track sounds, like weeeell cool dood?! Who's writing the lyrics and singing it then? Me, I assume? That guitar player is hot. He sounds strangely familiar. In fact, I think he's just down there...
